Republica

Nestled at 1999 Coolidge Highway in Berkeley, Michigan, Republica stands out not just for its culinary offerings but also for its vibrant atmosphere that embraces the spirit of the local community, particularly hockey enthusiasts. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a friendly warmth that envelops you, thanks in no small part to the inviting decor that proudly showcases a hockey-themed vibe. The walls, adorned with memorabilia, evoke a nostalgic sense of camaraderie, making it a perfect gathering spot for friends and family alike. The heart and soul of Republica, Lexi, the owner, is a remarkable host who exudes passion for her establishment and her patrons. Her welcoming demeanor sets the tone for an enjoyable dining experience, where you feel like part of a larger community rat

Republica has been one of my favorite spots in Berkley for years. From the quality of food to the phenomenal service, to the chefs creations, it is all top notch. Their patio in the summer is the perfect place to enjoy a margarita and in the cooler months inside has a cozy bar. If you have anyone with gluten sensitivities in your group this is the best spot for gluten free options and a dedicated GF frier. I tried the matcha margarita today and am already looking forward to my next one!

Really nice spot. My husband and I went here on a date and we sat outside on the front patio. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive. The inside had good modern vibes and the music was great. Our food came out hot and quick, especially for a Saturday evening. We had the Plato potatoes and spicy goat cheese crostini to start. Both were full of flavor and absolutely delicious. Some of the best fries I’ve ever had. For our mains, I had the republica chopped salad with chicken - the dates and walnuts paired with goat cheese were super tasty. Next time I order this I think I’ll ask for no corn, it didn’t seem to go with for my pallet. My husband had the village burger. We try bites of each other’s meals when we go out and it was absolutely delicious. If you like lamb this is a must.

First time eating here Dec 6th and I knew the second we walked in it would be great! The ambiance at Republica is delightful! Artsy, small, intimate and cozy with all sorts of collectibles and art adorning the walls. Our server, Sara, (hope I spelled her name correctly!) came tour table and was warm, friendly and full of personality. All of our questions were answered with a smile, energy and professionalism. We ordered beverages, I had root beer which was delicious, the others had drinks. We started with the Wild Mushroom flatbread which was delicious! I ordered the Chicken Parmesan and spaghetti squash, the squash was the best I’ve ever eaten! The chicken was good but the squash stole the show. I also ordered the Tomato Fennel soup which while tasty, was way over salted (hence 4 stars on

One of my favorite spots in Berkley. Great cocktails and great food. Have tried so many items on the menu and it is always delicious. Excited to see their brunch options this spring.
